How to understand the logic of the queries themselves in LDAP?

Question

LDAP

Greetings,
I understand a little with LDPAP and I can not understand:

CN=Dev-India,OU=Distribution Groups,DC=gp,DC=gl,DC=google,DC=com

Took the first question from Google.. and here are some questions

1. Do we always read this query from right to left?
   
2. I do not quite understand what exactly stands for DC? The domain in which there is a sampling? That is, first we look for our CN=Dev-India object in the com domain (in all its forests, etc.) And only after that we start searching in the google domain?
   
3. OU like I understand .... usually we 'collect objects' to which we are going to apply group policies
   
4. But what is CN? Common name - which objects in LDAP can have this attribute? (users, printers) Or I'll ask this... Which objects always have this attribute set by default..
   
   

Answer 1

Do we always read this query from right to left?

It's more convenient, yes.

I do not quite understand what exactly stands for DC? The domain in which there is a sampling?

His FQDN.

OU like I understand .... usually we 'collect objects' to which we are going to apply group policies

Think of an OU as a "folder".

But what is CN? common name - what objects in LDAP can have this attribute?

Any. It's kind of like a "friendly name".

Answer 2

"usually we 'collect objects'" has a very specific name - OU is an Organization Unit.
DC is a Domain Component.
What you are looking at is called the Distinguished Name.
You can read for example from MS themselves
